  • Patent number: 12276723
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for a continuous-wave (CW) radar system for detecting, geolocating, identifying, discriminating between, and mapping ferrous and non-ferrous metals in brackish and saltwater environments. The CW radar system generates multiple extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves simultaneously and uses said waves to detect, locate, and classify objects of interest. These objects include all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as changing material boundary layers (e.g., soil to water, sand to mud, rock to organic materials, water to air, etc.). The CW radar system is operable to detect objects of interest in near real time.

  • Patent number: 12241718
    Abstract: A launcher for launching a flying vehicle, such as a projectile or missile, includes a cutter for cutting a line, such as an umbilical line, that is coupled to the vehicle prior to launch. An example of a line is a tube for providing cooling for onboard components of the vehicle, such as a seeker of the vehicle. The cutter may be part of a mount of the launcher for mounting the line and other components, such as a compressor. The cutter may be configured so that as the vehicle translates relative to the launcher during the initiation of launch, the line moves against the cutter, severing the line. The cutter may retract after severing the line, for example being pulled away from the vehicle (and into the mount) by a spring mechanism.

  • Patent number: 12225050
    Abstract: Distribution and management of services in virtual environments is described herein. In one or more implementations, a service distribution and management model is implemented in which system services and applications are seamlessly distributed across multiple containers which each implement a different runtime environment. In one or more implementations, a system for distributing access to services in a host operating system of a computing device includes a host operating system configured to implement a host runtime environment, and one or more services implemented by the host operating system. The system further includes a service control manager configured to enable communication between a client stub of a service implemented in a client runtime environment and a service provider of the service that is implemented in a service runtime environment that is separate from the first client runtime environment.

  • Publication number: 20250025816
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor for a separator apparatus. The rotor having an axis of rotation and comprising an inlet operable to receive an effluent stream, an annular skirt defining a centrifugal separator operable to separate the effluent stream, the centrifugal separator having a gas outlet in first direction and a waste outlet in a second direction. A surface of the annular skirt is angled towards the axis of rotation of the rotor, such that during rotation of the rotor, non-gaseous matter in the effluent stream is biased towards the waste outlet by contact with said surface. The invention also relates to a separator apparatus comprising such a rotor, a method of treating an effluent stream, and a method of designing a rotor.
